A delightful creamy scallop dish with a hint of garlic and herbs, perfect for a quick and elegant meal.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
Ensure the butter doesn't brown for a smoother sauce.
Add the garlic, mushrooms, and scallions to the pan and sauté until fragrant.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Pour in the white wine and let it reduce slightly.
This step enhances the flavor depth of the sauce.
Add the scallops and cook until they are opaque.
Avoid overcooking the scallops to keep them tender.
Sprinkle in the flour and stir to combine.
Ensure the flour is evenly mixed to avoid lumps.
Gradually stir in the half-and-half, cooking until the sauce thickens.
Stir continuously to achieve a smooth consistency.
Garnish with parsley and cilantro before serving.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
